An international crypto exchange running since 2014, with an escrow-protected P2P market, swaps to naira and a naira wallet, per its store listings. Here is what Remitano says about itself, what we could and could not confirm, and where it differs from Yesa, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
Disclosure: Yesa is our app. We publish this page and benefit if you choose Yesa. Everything we say about other platforms comes from their own websites and store listings, read on 18 October 2026, and the sources are linked at the bottom. Where we could not find something, we say so rather than guess.
Yes, Remitano works in Nigeria. Its Google Play listing, updated on 4 October 2026, describes buying, selling and converting crypto to naira, with withdrawals to your local bank account, and names Nigeria among the 100+ countries it serves. It says it has been running since 2014 and has over 15 million users.
It is a large, established app by store numbers: 1M+ downloads and a 4.2 rating from 43.3K reviews on Google Play, and 4.5 from 6.3K ratings on the App Store, both read in Nigeria on 18 October 2026. Its App Store listing says Remitano is a product of Babylon Solutions Limited, incorporated in Seychelles, so it is not a Nigerian company.
What we could not confirm: its website showed a bot check when we tried to read it, so we could not read its fee page or help centre directly. Fee details on this page come from its store listings only.
Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission oversees digital asset services under the Investments and Securities Act 2025. Any platform's current standing is best checked on the SEC's own website, not on a competitor's page, including this one.

It has a naira wallet for deposits, withdrawals and storing naira, a crypto wallet, and support it says runs 24/7, including holidays. It is one of the longest-running names in this space, and its store numbers are far larger than most local apps.
What Remitano offers, as it describes it, beside how Yesa handles the same thing.
| Remitano (per its site) | Yesa | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Two routes: Swap at a quoted rate, or P2P with a local buyer and escrow. | One route, no counterparty: the exact naira amount is on screen before you confirm, and the sale settles at that amount. |
| 2 | Advertises zero fees to buy and sell crypto, and low fees, in its App Store listing. | Zero fees to sell crypto, to buy crypto and to sell gift cards. |
| 3 | Bank cash-outs described as quick; no payout time published in its listings. | A measured median bank payout of 4.7 seconds across 1,700 payouts, historical rather than guaranteed. |
| 4 | An international exchange serving 100+ countries; gift cards and bills not listed. | Built for Nigeria: crypto both ways, gift cards, and airtime, data, TV and electricity from one naira balance. |
None of this makes Remitano a bad choice. It means the right app depends on what you are selling and how you want to be paid. Whichever app you use, send a small amount first and check that the naira lands.
You see the naira figure before you confirm a crypto sale, and the sale settles at that figure. For a gift card, the rate is on screen before you submit.
Zero fees to sell crypto, to buy crypto and to sell gift cards. The amount on your screen is the amount that lands in your naira balance.
Withdraw to any Nigerian bank account. Across 1,700 measured bank payouts the median was 4.7 seconds; historical, not a guarantee.
Buy crypto with naira, sell gift cards, and pay for airtime, data, TV and electricity from the same balance.
Remitano suits you if you want a choice between P2P and a direct swap, or you trade in more than one country.
Yesa suits you if you want no stranger on the other side, the exact naira amount on screen before you confirm, zero fees, and gift cards and bills in the same app.
